The Netherlands

The Netherlands for visitors

The Netherlands is a low-lying country of canals, cycling and Dutch masters, with Amsterdam as its capital and a dense network of historic cities. Amsterdam draws most visitors with its canal ring, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Rembrandt House Museum. Rotterdam is a port city known for modern architecture, The Hague is the seat of government with royal and art collections, Utrecht has a canal-lined old centre around its cathedral tower, and Leiden is an old university town. A first visit often pairs a few days in Amsterdam with day trips to one or two of the other cities. Distances are short and trains run frequently between them, so a single base works well. Bikes are everywhere, so watch the cycle lanes when walking.
